The dogs looking for new loving families and homes have been fully vetted, temperament tested, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered.

In addition to the adoptions, the rescue group will be providing tips and information on foods to avoid feeding to a dog, spay and neuter information and how to avoid certain dog heath risks.
